Did any of you eat
salmon or other types of fish during your pregnancy? I love to have my salmon once in a while...and I can't stand that they write that they are high in the omega-3 fatty acids which is great for the baby's brain development but then the level of toxins (depending where the salmon came from) could be high...it gets on my last nerve!

Re: Did any of you eat
I ate salmon a bunch of times during this pregnancy... just be aware of where it's coming from and you should be OK.

Salmon is great for your baby! The Omega 3's are so good especially if the fish is wild and not farm-raised.

Re: Did any of you eat
I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat fish, but my prenatals have omega-3 fatty acids in them. If you are worried that you aren't getting enough because you are told to limit your salmon intake you could use Flax seed oil.

I think my prenatals have them as well...but I just enjoy eating salmon once in a while instead of boring chicken all the time...I must of had it appx 3 times already.

Ok, then I guess I should be safe lol...
I take PrimaCare One as well and I just read that it contains the Omega 3 fatty acids...but still I like the taste of it...KWIM...

Re: Did any of you eat
I ate salmon and shrimp thru my pregnancy - but I did limit it to about 12 ozs a week which is the amount that they recommended.
There is a list of lower mercury fish - those are the ones I would try to stick with and they do tell you to try to limit it to about 12 oz a week which is still a decent amount.
I also take a prenatal with DHA in it though

Re: Did any of you eat
Salmon is fine. I always see a ton of recipes with salmon in the PG and parenting magazines.

Re: Did any of you eat
My doctor said wild salmon is fine, and farm-raised is okay too occasionally.
The only fish I was told I could not eat at all are tilefish, shark, king mackerel, and swordsih. Tuna I can have in limited amounts, and I was told to avoid the albacore tuna.
